b1lS-
BERLIN, November 12.-[Copyrighted
by New York Associated Press. THE
first whispers of the dire news from
San Reno were unheard in Berlin until
towards evening. In the Bourse bust
ness was over. Some of the evening
papers had congratulatory articles on
the improving prospects of the Crown
Prince, when, suddenly, the semi
official reports were permitted to trans
pire that yesterday evenings advices
were false news. These reports created
general CONSERVATION. Early an
nouncements were vaguely put, to the
effect that the malaoy had been found
to be of cancerous nature, and that
with regard to the further treatment of
the Crown Prince no trustworthy in
verbal report was received from DR..
Schmidt, who went to IAN Reno at the
command of the Emperor. Nothing
was said about the chances of'recovery
or the condition of the patient, but the
official admission was enough to con-
firm the worst fears in the public mind
CO corning the Crown Princes fate.
Later, it became known that Prof.
Bergman had not lectured at
the university because he was en-
gagged In the consultations of the
expediency of performing another
operation, and that Doctors, Schretzsr
and Tamase were in favor of immediate
traohetomy, while Doctors Schretzer
aud Mackenzie were opposed to it. At
last. decisive examination was made
yesterday morning, which resulted in
the doctors unanimously declaring that
a radical cure was impossible. The only
difference of opinion was as to how
long the Crown Princes life could be
prolonged. The Crown Prince heard
part OF the discussion between the doc
tors. He showed the greatest self
possession when told that his recovery
was uncertain, and retired, to meet
the Princess. He afterwards sent a
long dispatch to the Emperor and then,
recalling the doctors, he told them he
placed himself ia their hands.
DR.. Mackenzie communicated the
result of the examination to Prince
William, who seemed more affected by
the dreadful news than his father. DR..
Schmidt, who will personally read the
report of the doctors to the Emperor,
position to the Immediate operation.
His relation with the Emperor will
doubtless influence the family decision.
FRINGE William returns to Berlin to-
morrow.
The confirmation of the statement
that the Crown Prince is afflicted with
cancer has revived the interest in the
methods attempted for the extiTpation
of the disease.
The Emperor is naturally much af
fected by the serious nature of the
Crown Princes illness, but the rumors
that he had q relapse threatening death
are untrue. He has appeared daily at
the palace window at the time for re-
lieving the guard and bowed and saluted
the crowd watching for him. He looks
hale and works at his desk for some time
before dinner.
News comes from Coblentz, that the
Empress Is worse. No bulletins about
her condition have been posted and it is
feared that her illness is serious.
The visit Of the Gar is invested with
increased importance by the final deci-
sion that Prince Bismarck and NJ. de
Giers should be present at the meeting
of the two emperOrs.
The North German Gazette announces
that Prince Bismarck will attend the
conference at the command of the En-
peror&A z Z
The Post asserts that NJ. DeGiers will
accompany the Car.
Up to yesterday it was definitely I'M
derstood, in official circles, that Prince
Bismark would not be present. The
reversal of the arrangement is in &C
eordance with the developments in the
condition of the Crown Prince, whose
death would materially affect the whole
European situation.
Thursday is now mentioned as the
day of the Cars arrival at Berlin
Under the sorroWful circumstances the
visit will be the least ceremonious pos
sible. Whatever may result from the
DeGiers-Bismark conference ofhci Il
! circles disbelieVe that it will not have
the slightest effect to shake the central
European alliance. On the contrary
| it Is hoped that the I Ear will be per
suaded that the coalition has too strong
a basis to be overturned, or for any
power to be induced to abandon it.
FrensdenbLdtt, in semi-ofhcial article,
suggests that the Gar will carry ava
the personal conviction of how wrongly
the Russian national party judges
the aims of Germany, and will certainly
learn that the alliance can never be
weakened nor loosened, ana that Is
may be extended, attracting other
powers to its programme, and embrac
ing IN league It peace.
The Reichsbank's refusal to make
further advances on Russian securities
appears less hostile to Russia now that
- ere ISIS report that the refusal will be
extended to all foreign bonds, the
Reichsbank thus following the example
of the Bank of England and the Bank
of France. The Reichsbank have never
advanced on Russian securities more
than about one third of their market
value On many Russian railway ocpds
it would not lend money on any .ufG-s.
